My name is Tom and I have been fascinated by the aquarium hobby since I was a toddler when my family had an Oscar tank in the living room. Ever since I can't remember a time when I did not have an aquarium in my life. Most recently I built a wall of 12, 40 gallon aquariums in my home office. Complete with a central air system, drilled tanks, and an automatic water change system that I made myself using a Wi-Fi sprinkler controller and ice machine solenoids, and of course I made my own lids. After making about my 15th lid I found myself getting really good at it, and I ended up with a lot of left over material sitting in the garage. I offered to make some lids for my local aquarium club members, and the response was amazing! So much that I quickly ran out of material and had to purchase more. I've since drastically improved my methods for gluing hinges and cutting the material. I am learning more about packaging, shipping, and sourcing materials every day. But most importantly I am having fun as I found a way to incorporate my beloved hobby into a business. Wish me luck!

I am very happy with my new aquarium lid! It fits perfectly for my 40Gl breeder. I decided to go with hinged and no feed port. I asked for a cutout and it was exactly the right size and in the right place. Please read the information for the products before buying and make sure to send pictures and lots of details. Overall i'll buy more Lids from buildalid.com Thank you!!!
Tom was easy to work with. He explained the process step by step and helped me figure out exactly what I needed for my tank. Not only is it quality and a perfect fit, but I had it in under a week! Would highly recommend him and his shop.
